Operation (Fig. 11)

Hold the tool firmly. Set the base plate on the workpiece to be cut without the blade making any contact. Then turn the tool on and wait until the blade attains full speed. Now simply move the tool forward over the workpiece surface, keeping it flat and advancing smoothly until the sawing is completed. To get clean cuts, keep your sawing line straight and your speed of advance uniform.

CAUTION:

•The riving knife should always be used except when plunging in the middle of the workpiece.

•Do not stop the saw blade by lateral pressure on the disc.

Guide rule (Fig. 12 & 13)

The handy guide rule allows you to do extra-accurate straight cuts. Simply slide the guide rule up snugly against the side of the workpiece and secure it in position with the screw on the front of the base. It also makes repeated cuts of uniform width possible.

Joint assembly (Fig. 14, 15 & 16)

(for connecting a vacuum cleaner)

When you wish to perform clean cutting operation, con- nect a vacuum cleaner to your tool. Install the joint on the tool using the screw. Then connect a hose of vacuum cleaner to the joint.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.

To maintain product safety and reliability, repairs, mainte- nance or adjustment should be carried out by a Makita Authorized Service Center.
